Wakefield Cathedral.
"The oldest part of Wakefield Cathedral is the south-
west corner of the south chancel aisle containing a
staircase. It formed a corner of the transept of a
church built early in the twelfth century. This
church was a simple cruciform one without aisles, but
with a central tower. Parochial needs calling for an
enlargement somewhere, a north aisle was added
to the nave about the middle of the same century,
and the bases and shafts of most of the piers that
supported its arcade still remain."
